We do business with some of the most recognisable businesses in the North West and we have an ambitious plan for further growth in 2017 & beyond.

To support this growth plan we are currently looking to recruit several “stars of the future” to join our team as academy trainees with immediate starts.

The recruitment sector offers a combination of dynamic business environment, personal development, people interaction, great career prospects and high earning potential. The most successful people in the Recruitment Industry started from the bottom up, with no experience of the job or the sector and from all types of personal background. There are no barriers to success and there is no glass ceiling. High achievers in this industry all share the same attributes : a willingness to learn, a determination to be successful and a will to win!

For the next 3 months of your career with us, you will be assigned to an experienced mentor and assessed against a set of pre-agreed targets.

If you are successful during this phase of the academy, you will then be offered a permanent role in your chosen discipline and receive a salary & benefits package that are commensurate with that role.

We are looking for stars of the future. Experience is not required and successful applicants can come from any career background or job history.
